Lighting Consultation
“Guiding someone to great lighting is like guiding them to a great wine.”
Visually stimulating lighting is the final and arguably most important element in shaping the mood and tone of a space. Just as the tailoring of a fine suit conveys an understated yet powerful message, so too does perfectly conceptualized lighting.
Since 1999 David has drawn on his creative and technical knowledge to provide this balance to a wide variety of clients, projects and spaces such as houses of worship, multi purpose event and teaching venues, a senior's residential facility art gallery, outdoor art installations and proscenium and black box theatre spaces.

TESTIMONIALS
“I was just in the church on this gloomy Friday morning. My spirits were lifted when we turned on the complete sanctuary lighting. A superb result - the lighting is quite spectacular!. Thank you for your faithful attention to this project.”
Msgr. Kevin Beach, Rector, Saint Patrick Basilica, Ottawa
"We approached Mr. Magladry to design and install a lighting system for our live entertainment venue. There were some serious challenges due to the intimate nature of the venue - lower ceilings, smaller stage size and the usual budget constraints. David rose to the challenge and solved all of these problems with a system that is the envy of audiences and performers alike. We would highly recommend his services."
Lawrence Evenchick, Owner / Operator, Live! on Elgin
"We developed a great partnership with David. His dedication and skill is evident in all aspects of our space. We appreciate his attention to detail and his creative approach to bringing our space to life."
Chris Ralph, co-Founder, Avalon Studios
